If only for just one night

If only for one night

I look down that lit street. I just want to run down it. I want to be able to run fast along side the brothers and sisters that his pack holds. I’m stuck. Stuck in between my dreams and reality. Strong minded, graceful, intelligent. Wolf. The beauty that beholds inside this life I wish. No, I long to feel the damp earth beneath my feet as I fly past the trees, roots and the rest of this forest beholds for me. But stuck, in this city. The walls that form around me get smaller and smaller as I try to jump out. Fall, fall, fall. every time I jump I fall. there! Look there he is reaching for me in his “normal” form. This imperfect him is so beautiful, but it was his purest form that I feel in love with. He takes firm hold of my hand and pulls me up and into a tight embrace, I absorb his warmth as he whispers in my ear. Why, oh why may I not run beside you. I want you to always be here. Then I feel my body begins to rip apart, I feel that feeling deep inside my heart, the one that has been locked away so deep inside I couldn’t even feel until him. I drop to all fours and begin to run towards that open door. Jump. Leap. Run as fast as my legs will go. I stumble. I fall. I can no longer go. The sings the most saddest song I feel my heart begin to shatter as he walks over to me as I change back to the original me. I lay there unconscious he picks me up and begins to howl to the heavens above. OH! WHY!! Oh how that sound will ring forever in their ears. That single gun shot. Now forever implanted into his heart, his soul. The others have heard it by now. They run after the monster that shot down such a beautiful creature. A couple of stray tears now run freely down his face and lands on my cheek. Oh! How I wish I could just reach up and wipe it off. But no. I can no longer feel my limbs or my heart beat. He cries HOW COULD ANYONE TEAR HER DOWN, LIKE RIPPING THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL FROM HER BACK!!!! He places his hand over where that hole in which I was shot and makes a last, hopeless attempt to hold on to what he’s got. Released from my prison I finally became what I truly was. Just for one night, I wished. And for just one night was what I got.
